Ah the spitgate of 2018, i remember the one day when the sub as fully on board the "second spitter" theory, then the alternative angle came out.

Rondo just transferring his desire to beat his wife and kid onto CP3.

One of the only fights in recent NBA history and it’s the two smallest dudes on the court lol

[–] Sharcbait@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (4 children)

Ibaka vs Lopez and Afflalo vs Bjelly are the only 2 I can think of where people actually were swinging.

I still don’t understand Ingram’s thinking here.

[–] CameronPlain@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thinking? Guy just swung into the middle of a group of bodies.

[–] KaiserKaiba@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Slim Reefer just wanted to scrap

This really was an all-time skirmish. Watching it unfold on live TV was surreal.

Why’s Chris Paul trash talking himself?

[–] mcrajf@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Poetry in motion. Also Melo, Rockets legend.

[–] CreativePlugJay@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Ingram’s swing was out of pocket🤣 this felt like the other day😂

[–] lialialia20@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Melo's reaction tho

[–] xtraburnacct@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (5 children)

lmao its amazing how close up they got to this to reveal the spit

[–] Sev41@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

ENHANCE

[–] LittlefishBigsplash@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Right— I’d heard about that part but this is the first time I’ve actually seen it

[–] MediocreTake@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Fr I can almost taste it

[–] owbug@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I remember when this was getting replayed when it first happened.

-“Cp3 poking at his face/eye I would’ve swung too!!”

Then a close up comes out. Fan theories “rondo spit! Cp3 reacts to something!”

-then this super close hd comes out lol the little spit flying. I remember reading a comment saying rondo been practicing doing this turtle spit move for ages lmao

I remember the week after this fight where people were zooming into the pixels to confirm whether Rondo spit on him or not.

Still never figured out why B.I pushed Harden for no reason 🤔

[–] kwesi777@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (2 children)

[–] orange_orange13@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] SpartanVasilias@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

God this video is such a vibe

[–] Chefalo@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

LeBron and Carmelo chatting and watching this all go down then being the peace makers made me laugh for some reason

[–] WilNotJr@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Need more players to spit in Chris Paul's face and punch him in the eyebollocks.

[–] Necessary_Initial350@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Melo grabbing BI and Bron grabbing CP3

[–] ghoney04@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] camy205@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

That is such a tragic looking fight in slow motion haha

[–] CavemanCavalier@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Carmelo was on the Rockets??

[–] nbapat43@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

[–] Clwhit12@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Chris Paul learned something out Louisville guys that night.

Who was Ingram swinging at exactly?

Didnt even show the best part were Nipsey was ready to tap in. Legend.
